Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to a packaging system and method and more particularly to an inflatable bag adapted to be rolled-up to assume a spiralled configuration for retaining an article therein.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,597,244, issued on July 1, 1986 to Daniel A. Pharo for "Method For Forming An Inflated Wrapping," discloses a packaging system and method wherein an article is packaged within an inflated, sealed bag. The present invention provides certain improvements and variations over the packaging system and method taught in Applicant's above patent.
- The packaging system of this invention comprises a rolled-up bag generally assuming a spiralled configuration and defining a chamber therein adapted to be at least substantially filled with a filler medium. An open-ended pouch is formed on the bag for retaining an article therein with the pouch being disposed within the confines of overlying rolled-up portions of the bag. A filling means is provided for at least substantially charging the chamber with the filler medium to at least substantially encapsulate and support the pouch and article within the rolled-up portions of the bag.
- In carrying forth the method steps of this invention, a package is first formed to comprise the inflatable bag and open pouch, an article is placed in the pouch, the bag is rolled-up to dispose the pouch and article within the confines of the bag, and the bag is at least partially filled with the filler medium to retain the article therein. In certain packaging applications, the bag is placed in a box either before or after the article is placed in the pouch.
- The invention will now be illustrated by reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating a rolled-up bag, embodying a packaging system of this invention, being inserted into a box;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating disposition of the bag in the closed box and means for inflating the bag;
- Figure 3 is an exploded isometric view illustrating three panels utilized to form the bag and an article-retaining pouch thereon;
- Figure 4 is an isometric view illustrating the formed bag with its panels sealed together to define the pouch and an article adapted to be inserted into the pouch;
- Figure 5 is an isometric view illustrating initial rolling-up of the bag to form its spiralled configuration illustrated in Figure 1; and
- Figure 6 is an isometric view, partially illustrating a modified bag.
- Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a
packaging system 10 comprising a rolled-up bag 11 adapted to be placed within a closeable box orcarton 12. As described more fully hereinafter, an open-ended pouch orpocket 13 is formed on the bag for retaining anarticle 14 therein, such as a gift. When the bag assumes its spiralled configuration illustrated in Figures l and 2, the pouch and article are disposed within the confines of overlying rolled-up portions of the bag. - When the rolled-up bag is positioned in
box 12,closure flaps 15 of the box are superimposed and sealed together in a conventional manner. Filling means, shown in the form of afilling stem 16 of the bag, extends through an slot-like opening 17, formed through a side panel ofbox 12, to facilitate at least partial filling of the bag with a filler medium, such as pressurized air. In the embodiment illustrated, afilling tube 18, suitably connected to a pressurized air source (not shown), is inserted through acut line 19 formed instem 16. - After the bag has been inflated to charge a closed chamber defined within the bag with air to at least substantially encapsulate and support
pouch 13 andarticle 14 within rolled-up portions of the bag, the stem ls sealed by sealing means such as heat-inducedseam 20 formed transversely across the filling stem, as depicted bydash lines 20 in Figure 2. The stem is then inserted into the box, through slot-like opening 17, to ready the formed packaging system for consumer consumption. The opening can be closed and sealed by a standard adhesive tape. - As shown in Figure 3, bag 11 is preferably formed from a pair of overlying first and
second panels second seams opposite side seams - As shown in Figure 4,
pouch 13 is formed by athird panel 28 secured onfirst panel 22 to define an open pocket adapted to retainarticle 14 therein.Third panel 28 is secured to the bag atfirst end seam 24 andside seams second end seam 25. Fillingstem 16 extends outwardly fromsecond end seam 26 and comprisesoverlying stem portions second panels - Each
panel - In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the widths of
panels side seams end seams pouch panel 28, betweenend seams panels - It should be understood that various modifications can be made to the packaging system of this invention without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. For example, Figure 6 partially illustrates a modified bag 11′ wherein
panels longitudinal seams 31 extending between the end seams of the bag.Seams 31 secure the panels together to form the chamber of the bag into a plurality ofsubchambers 32 with the seams terminating short ofsecond end seam 25 to communicate the subchambers with each other upon filling thereof with a filler medium, such as pressurized air. - Figure 6 further illustrates the use of an optional filling means, shown in the form of a
valve 33 secured to fillingstem 16 or avalve 34 secured to one of thepanels cut line 19. With the use ofvalve 33,cut line 19 can be eliminated fromstem portion 29. Whenvalve 34 is used,stem portion 16 could be eliminated, if so desired, withend seam 25 extending fully across the end edges ofpanels Inflation valves - As briefly described above, when rolled-up bag 11 is inserted into
box 12, as illustrated in Figure 2, a standard inflation apparatus, includingfiller tube 18, can be utilized to charge and pressurize the inflatable chamber of the bag with air to an inflation pressure exceeding ambient pressure, e.g., exceeding 1 bar (l4.7psi) at sea level. In general, it is desirable that the bag's maximum air volume capacity approximate 150% of the total volume ofbox 12. Whenvalve 34 is utilized (Figure 6), the bag can be filled when closure flaps 15 of the box are open to expose the valve. - Human lung power could also be utilized to inflate the chamber of the bag with air. Other types of gases, such as helium, could be utilized as the filler medium, as well as a suitable liquid, such as water. Alternatively or in addition to the pressurized fluid, the chamber could be at least partially filled with a plastic material (e.g., urethane, polystyrene, etc.) in solid (injected in liquid form and allowed to solidify) or piece form (e.g., balls or pellets).
-
Panels Bead seal 20 can be suitably formed by sealing apparatus, such as the type described in U.S. Patent No. 4,597,244, i.e., the impulse table top bag sealer Model 210-8 manufactured by A.I.M. Plastics, Inc. of Mount Vernon, New York. The open end ofpouch panel 28 could be suitably heat-sealed topanel 22 afterarticle 14 is inserted intopouch 13, and prior to when bag 11 is rolled-up. - It should be understood that bag 11 could be used as a complete packaging system without the use of
box 12. Further, the deflated bag could be loosely placed or secured inbox 12 prior to insertion ofarticle 14 intopouch 13. The deflated bag could be glued or otherwise suitably secured to the bottom or sidewalls of the erected box or secured to one of the sidewalls when the box is in its flattened blank form, i.e., prior to gluing of the manufacturer's glue flap, not shown, to an adjacent sidewall of the box blank. The latter arrangement contemplates formation of opening 17 through a sidewall of the box to provide access forstem 16, i.e., the bag would be orientated ninety degrees from its Figure 1 disposition. The article could be placed inpouch 13 when the box blank and pouch are flattened or could be placed in the pouch after the blank has been erected to box form.
